Non-relativistic momentum-dependent spin splitting, as observed in collinear altermagnets and non-collinear $p$-wave magnets, provides exciting avenues for controlling spin dynamics. Here, we reveal a distinct form of non-relativistic…
Superconductivity originates from the formation of bound (Cooper) pairs of electrons that can move through the lattice without resistance below the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$. Electron Cooper pairs in most superconductors…

A central idea in strongly correlated systems is that doping a Mott insulator leads to a superconductor by transforming the resonating valence bonds (RVBs) into spin-singlet Cooper pairs. Here, we argue that a spin-triplet RVB (tRVB) state,…
It was theoretically proposed that a forward-biased p-n junction with a superconducting layer (P-N-S), would produce pure, polarization entangled photons due to inherent spin-singlet pairing of electrons. However, any heterostructure…
